Chromatographic methods for the identification of the new hallucinogen, 4-methyl-2,5-dimethoxy-α-methyl-phenethylamine, and related drugs

Abstract

Thin-layer and gas-chromatographic methods are described for the detection of 4-methyl-2,5-dimethoxy-α-methylphenethylamine in the sub-microgram range. Chromatographic criteria of identity for this new hallucinogen and for the related amines, amphetamine, methamphetamine and mescaline, and the hallucinogens, dimethyltryptamine and bufotenine, are also reported.
